I am in agreement with all that has been detailed in this email
thread and it calls for substantive action.<br>

approaches to administration vs board stuff
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been on the board,Chair for committee and
committee member and we have 10 committees with monthly
meetings plus our board meeting. This is alot of time
just on the calls. We have a split between active ( Burned
out) and inactive who are on board because it looks right on
a resume</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am stepping down as well from Internet Society of
Canada but I will continue to provide adminstrative
support. This administration support includes:</div>
<div>-Website updates</div>
<div>-CRM database maintainence</div>
<div>-Monthly reconcillation with Quickbooks</div>
<div>-Annual preparation of books for auditor</div>
<div>-Filing of annual Goods and Service Rebate</div>
<div>-Deposits</div>
<div>-Invoicing all members using Paypal </div>

<div>-Manage Eventbrite for events</div>
<div>-Email via Eventbrite and CIVICRM to membership </div>

<br>
I agree with Carlos regarding the sustainability of ISOC
chapters.<br>
<br>
Currently the chapter "officers" spend inordinate amounts of
time on doing meeting minutes, treasurers functions, looking
after the website, convening meetings, maintaining members
lists, and other routine administrivia. It would be of
extreme benefit to the chapters if ISOC could provide
administrative staff to undertake these functions. This
would free up considerable time for the chapter "officers"
to spend on strategic thinking and advancing the issues of
real importance to their chapters.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, ISOC would gain considerably overall by
devolving its centralised authority, allowing more regional
or local empowerment, to deal with the issues more critical
within those communities. I feel the current centralised
structure inhibits ISOC's ability to grow. I also sense from
this thread there is a growing frustration with the current
structure, and I remain hopeful that high level strategic
changes are being considered by the board and senior staff.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Keith

Hi Vreni!<br>
<br>
I see it as a much broader question than just for 3
candidates to the<br>
Board. There are many different paths to make chapters
sustainable,<br>
trough their leaders, their initiatives and else. Even
by getting them<br>
on ISOCs or any other 5* payrolls.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Hi, Carlos!<br>
<br>
Given the fact that right now is voting time, that
sounds like a<br>
question, aimed at the candidates to join the Board
of Trustees.<br>
<br>
Hope that they will respond?<br>

With an every day growing staff, ISOC HQ should
have a dedicated<br>
staff to chapters, with real chapter experience
and also a dedicated<br>
program for make chapters sustainable and
volunteers.<br>
<br>
Maybe it's a good time to ask for this as a real
an serious<br>
compromise from the various candidates to the ISOC
board in the next<br>
coming election<br>

After spending a long year trying to get our
local chapter 100%<br>
registered under a celar non-for profit
structure in Costa Rica so<br>
we can even have our own bank account, we found
out the ISOC does<br>
not even consider guaranteeing the basic yearly
support of US $<br>
2´000/year we assumed as the basic support to
share one part time<br>
person with one of our Board members………<br>
